STAY WIRE TIE.

SPECIFICATION -forming part Of Letters Patent No. 706,948, dated August 12, 1902.

Application filed March 17, 1902- Serial No. 98,545. (No model.)

To all whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN IMBLER, a citizen of the United States, residing in Clay township, in the county of Hamilton and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Stay-Wire Ties, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved form for attaching a tie-wire to the intersections of running-wires and stay wires of wire fences.

The object of my invention is to so twist a tie-wire to the junctions of running-wires and stay-wires that it will operate to securely hold the two wires together-and yet be of such a form that it may be easily applied.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the junction of a staywireand running-wire with my tie in process of application. Fig. 2 is a similar view with my tie completed.

The tie-wire consists of a length of comparatively light wire, which is first given a preliminary U form, the preliminary forming being merely the initial step if the tiewire be applied by machine. The U-shaped tie-wire is then caused to straddle either the stay-wire or the running-wire, the drawings showing the bend 5 of the tie-wire engaging the stay-wire 6. Each end of the tie-wire is then given one turn and a half about the adjacent running-wire 7, the two ends of the tie-wire being then brought together at 8 and wrapped in the same direction about the staywire upon that side of the running-wire 7 opposite to that engaged by the portion 5 of the tie-wire.

I claim as my invention-- 1. A tie for crossing portions of wire fences, said tie consisting of a length of wire engaging one of the crossing wires near its middle; its ends wrapped about the other crossing wire upon opposite sides of the first wire; and then wrapped about the first wire on the opposite side of the second wire.

2. A tie for crossing portions of wire fences, said tie consisting of a length of wire engaging one of the crossing wires near its middle;

its ends wrapped about the other crossing wire upon opposite sides of the first wire; and the said ends brought together upon the opposite side of the second wire and both wrapped about the first wire in the same direction.
